If this hits, then they also need to add the M1A2 SEP V3. It will have Trophy, as well as increased frontal armor and the dark green paint seen on the vehicles reduces the thermal signature.
that’s identifiers so gunners dont end up shooting each other; they dont have any significant meaning on reducing thermal signature in terms of thermal stealth, other tank solve this issue either with coating or with long skirts
Ahh, all 15 have been received?
You don’t know diddly-squat about how the F-35 program works clearly

+1, for sure, however others like the M1A2 SEPv3/v4 and T-14 Armata are added along with it, for nations other than those add what’s best for them.

Still no trophy? Was it cancelled?
No it has yet to be put on
let me see, italy produces the F35 under license but it has some issues with the building due to the main issues of materials and factories sizes, making it harder to use both bigger and more advanced machinery for the creation process So far, they only got 15 out of 59, not even including how bad they are doing with the parts, Another funny part is that their F35’s are built out of the base of older F35’s, which is outdated compared to the newer US F35’s and now italy wants to upgrade them
I’m not talking about the combat ID panels, I’m talking about the dark green paint that the new Abrams are painted. It’s designed to reduce the thermal signature. We looked at them through thermals, and it actually does reduce the signature.

Dude now You are Just making shit out of nowere. Such issues were never described by the Italian air force/navy and Leonardo, You are Just inventing fake reason to claim that Italy is inferior to’ germany (wich is not lmao).
Could I ask You what sources You use? Because You know nothing about Itaf F35. The number of delivered F35 Is over 30 currently out of 90 (the air force also want to’ increase the Number to’ 131) and we never got any issue with the parts lol. Meanwhile Germany Will receive only 35 F35 After 2030. Cope harder.

Wich Is a false statement btw
Nothing Is confirmed forn now. And btw It was also said that Ita Leo Will have autoloader so
As far as i’ve investigated they has 15 with an order of 59 and with plans on extending the order to a higher numbers, together with plans on adding new tech, the F35 had a few issues that got solved in early to mid stages idk if italy Ever got them fixed since they were producing the mid stages of the F35, or if they ever got them in the first place, the order was delayed for some months in a few stages for what i could because of production issues with some of the parts if you have info to disclose or dimiss what i said it would be nice of you to share it since im doing my personal investigation on it
Leopard can’t fit an autoloader due to numerous factors and it would require a heavy modification of the turret wich would have to be approved in the first place
Then my advice Is to get Better sources, the ones You used are inadequate. It seem that Your info are from 2015 (wich means they are pretty outdated)

Info it’s pretty límited so i get onto italian sources or lockheed Martin but Indeed the info its from 2015
Considering Italy Will be the biggest leo2A8 user (since Italy ordered 132 units + 124 recovery units or similar numbers while germany for now ordered 18) there Will be much money for more changes
